Quick Start — CrossPoint 42 HVA

Installation

 

Step 1 - Mounting

 

Mount the switcher in a rack.

 

Step 2 - Turn off power

3 & 4

Turn off power to the input and output devices,

and remove the power cords from them.

Step 3 - Cable video input

Cable the switcher for RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video , S-video, or composite video input (3). See Cabling and Rear Panel Views in Chapter 2 for details.

Step 4 - Cable video output

Cable the switcher for RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video , S-video, or composite video output (3). See Cabling and Rear Panel Views in Chapter 2 for details. Ensure that the same video planes (R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the switcher output as on the input.

Step 5 - Cable stereo input

Cable the switcher for stereo audio input. Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input (5). Connectors are included with each switcher, but you must supply the audio cable. High impedance is generally over

800 ohms.

Step 6 - Cable stereo output

Cable the switcher for stereo audio output. Each output has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector that outputs the selected unamplified, line level audio. Connect an audio device, such as an audio amplifier or powered speakers (6).

Step 7 - Power up

Plug the switcher, input devices, and output devices into a grounded AC source, and turn on the input and output devices.

Step 8 - Create a tie

1.Press and release the Conf/Save button to select audio and/or video.

2.Press and release the output button to select the desired output (1 or 2).

3.Press and release the desired input button.

4.Repeat steps 1-3 as necessary.
